TOKYO, Nov. 30—(A.P.)—Japan- ese officials declared today they ex- pected negotiations to clear away all difficulties in connection with the proposal that a neutral zone be established between the forces of china and Japan in Manchuria.

'I'he question of policing the area of neutrality-between Mukden and Shanhaikuan, at the great wall on the southern boundary of the prov- ince-seemed to be the chief dif- Iiculty.

In official quarters it was said this might be disposed of by an ar- rangement permitting trocps to en- ter the zone whenever they were required to stamp out bandit activ- ity. Such a plan already operates in the Kwantung territory, which is leased by Japan.

The Government announced that negotiations were being conducted wiih Dr. Wellington Koo, China's Foreign Minister, over the settin up of the neutral zone. ' - i CHINA ACCEPTS PROPOSAL

NANKING, NOV. 80 -- (A. P.) — China today accepted the proposal of the League of Nations that a neutral rone be es‘ ' ' ' between

Manchurla.

Word of this decision was dis- patched to the Chinese command- er at Chinchow. last stronghold on.‘ China in the province, and he war directed to inform foreign observ- er's there. The situation at Chin- chow. the Foreign Office said, now is considered by China to be entire- iiy in the hands of the neutral ob- servers on the’ spot.

After official announcement of China's adhesion to the neutral zone plan. Dr. Wellington Koo, the new Foreign Minister, and Marmoru Shioeinitsu, Japanese Minter. held a. oonfelence appu-ently for the purpose of giscilssing details. Both Dr. Koo and Chiang Kai-Shek, President of the Nanking Govern- merit. committed themselves to a policy of peace and moderation.

HON. J. A. MACDONALD

The practical problems of Can- ada and her progress in commerce and industry since Confederation were sketched in broad outline by the Hon. J. A. MacDonald, M. P., in replying to the toast "Our Great Dominion.“

The increases in trade and popu- lotion and the development in manufacturing and natural produc- tion were particularly emphasized.

In 1868. the speaker pointed out, our manufacturing amounted to only $321,000,000 while last year it represented over three billions of dollars, the total natural produc- tion last year amounting to nearly four billions.

Canada's phenomenal increase in

REV. MR. SINCLAIR

Following was the address of Rcv. gD. M. Sinclair in reply to the toast 1“Tlie Land of the Heatherz"

When the Rt. Hon. Ian MacPher- ison was visiting in Canada a few iyeavs ago‘ he remarked that he ‘found only two classes of people in tthls country, those who were Scotch land those who claimed to be Scotch.

From Canada he went to Australia, where he visited Melbourne. He asked the Mayor “Have you many IScots in the state?" “Yes," replied ‘the mayor, "and a great many, but our worst pest is the rabbit."

When we talk about Scotland to- iday we mean the Lowlands. the i. Highlands, and the Islands, with the ‘accent on the Highlands. But until

as recently as 185 years ago Scotland

meant only the Lowlands. Not till]

‘drier the “Forty five" did the High- lands become known to the outside world. When Boswell and Johnson made their tour in 1773 they found travelling very difficult after they left Inverness, and the people and customs quite different from any- thing they had anticipated. It may be little wonder that_Johnson des- sclbes the Highlander as a “fierce and savage dcpradator, speaking a barbarous language, and inhabiting a gloomy region which fear and prudence forbade all strangers ta enter.” Three things in Scotland confounded the worthy Doctor: Gae- lic, the bngpipe and haggis, a for- midable trlo for any mere English- man to attempt to diagnose.

I shall not try to enlighten you on any of these subjects tonight, taking for granted that you are all Scotclimen or claim to be. and hence quite capable of defending yourselves against any taunts the world may throw at you regarding Scotland's language, music or food.

Rather I shall confine myself to these two thoughts suggested by Worclswortlis lines,

“Two voices arc there; one is of

_ the sea,

One of the mountains; each a

mighty Voicez"

The voice of the mountains and the voice of the sea have been mighty forces in Scottish life. They have been heard by tlic Gael and they account to some extent for ills imaginative power and his passion for liberty. There are lands with brighter skies, and more fertile soil, but in the heart ofa Scot there is no land so grand as Scotland when the bloom is on the heather.

In speaking of tho bcns we must

tile glcns and straths at the foot of the hills. A Lowland minister preached u sermon to the Highland- ers from this tcxt in Isaiah "Let the inhabitants of the rock sing."

The awe-inspiring solcmnity of the hills as they are shrouded with mist, have an air of mystery about them. So too has the Scot. The mountains appeal to his imagination, Around each glen, loch, corrle and crug he weaved a mysterious tale. and even the very air abounds with elves, fairies and goblins. These tales he fashioned in poetry and recited tlicm to some ever-ready listener. They introduce us to wars and battles, to the wonderful doings of magicians, the pranks of the fairies, the court- ships and Jealousies of fair women and brave men, the death of heroes. and the grief of parents for those slain in battle.

For expressing himself on any of these subjects the Highlander had at his command a language preemin- cntly adapted to render his evcry shade of meaning accurately. The Gaelic language is specially appro-

, priatc for story telling. where the Africa which sold in London at there are over $200,000,000 cf im-

voice of the speaker rcprcsents by its modulations, the yearning, the pathos. the fervor, the affection, or the scorn of the heart. Such stories as told by the bards of ancient Scot- land, be they truth or fancy, have enlivened many an evening in the chieftairfs hall and the clansmans cottage, and during the lonely nights in Spain, before Sebastopol, in the jungles of India, in the trenches of France, have often been mused 0n by the gallant bronze-faced High- land soldier, and sometimes when all was quiet for a time, have been recited in that expressive language. which however uncouth it may sound to a stranger's ears, yet never falls to give eloquence to the tongue by which it is spoken.

The mountains have done anoth- er thing for Scotland. Tho origin of the clan system was largely due to the mountains. Cut off as they were from their neighbors by these huge hills, the dwellers of each glen developed their own community life, acknowledging the authority of a chief, following him to war and obeying him in peace. They recog- nized no lawmakers but those oi family and blood, and no laws but those of honour and might. To the decision of the sword they B10110 their first and last auPi-‘fll- T110 early Scots were an exceptionally proud race, yet they did not hesit- ate to descend at times from their mountain homes and layl"! WP-SW the lands of the Lowlands, to carry

aiatmdsn-J

own secure fastnesses. In these

early days they showed their fondness and aptitude for war. They fought the Romans

and the Danes. and when they could find no worthier opponents they fflueht with one another. Hence arose the numerous feuds between the Macicans and the Macdougalls, the Macleods and MacDonalds, the Mackenzies and the Campbells. Some of these feuds lasted for hun- dreds of years. The mountains have indeed influenced Scottish character.

And the other voice is that of the sea. calling for adventure and free-

dom. A passion for liberty has characterised the Scot all down the ages. From the early times when vikings harried the Western Isles,

of the Province lay the hope of

No matter where he may be the Scot retains this love of mountain and sea. As his native land has its wild, barren, heather clad mountains around which the mists swirl, and the smiling sea below, so the Scotch- lnan has his rugged intellect, and his lofty idealism, and beneath, the mystery of hidden things.

.1t is this unique combination of mind and heart, of the practical and romantic, that has made the Scot a great Empire builder. The brave men and women who left the lone shelling in the misty isle and sailed westward were of stout hearts and

courage unsurpassed. They left nev- er to return, yet however attached they became to their new country, they always lookcd back with wist- ful memories to that forsaken but and ben in‘the lonely glen, which they called “home." Wherever he may be, the Scot hears the hills of home calling him. The bigness of the hills‘ is bred in him, the mysteri- ous depths of the sea. is part of his being. ~

In conclusion Rev. M)‘. Sinclair rccited the verses of a Gaelic poem, "Albanach Chanada," composed by Rev. A. M. MnoLean Sinclair. The verses were received with enthus- iastic applause.
